Frigid February Fun
So, what kind of inside project does one do on a Friday in cold February?
Make a gingerbread house, of course! We bought a gingerbread house kit before Christmas but didn't have the time or energy to pursue it. This was my VERY FIRST TIME to ever build a house. It was messy, fell over, but we had fun. I even invited some cousins to come over and help. The boys all enjoyed licking and decorating and tasting.
The best part for Mommy? My son had no allergic reactions. The icing and the candies were all safe for him to eat, and handling the gingerbread (which had wheat) gave no reactions.
So it was a milestone experience in more ways than one.
And it was a perfect project for this time of year...I'm thinking of buying two next year and saving one for cabin fever time!

Happy News!
I won a contest at Cooking with Whine! See my Food Blog: Family Food in Feast and Feria for the details.
Hmmm...I think I'll splurge and use the winnings to buy a nice bottle of wine. Trader Joes has a lovely selection for under $5. Cheers to you, Becki! Thanks so much!

Mother's Lesson #157
Because of food allergies, Ambrose drinks soy milk.
Mother's Lesson #157: Sippy cups filled with soy milk lost in the hot car for a week stink to high heaven.
Just because the cup is filled with soy milk, it doesn't smell any better than cow's milk. Sour milk of any variety stinks. Period.
If you think you lost a sippy cup, find it right away...otherwise, extra work at fumigation and cleaning will be required.
